I’m old enough to be one of the Other People’s Nans (although I’m not, yet …) and my boyfriend , who is old enough to be anyone’s pop, bought me your CD for Christmas coz I liked your so postmodern song. Would love to see your slideshow …

this song is just so indeed post modern!!!
so rad it hurts!!! …
so post modern it hurts!!!
i voted for it in the triple j hottest 100 because im just as post modern (well i’m not really but i’d like to think so) and everyone should be as pretend post modern and do the same
xxxxxxx

I’m so post modern that for the fist time i herd your song at the falls it has been stuck in my head ever since and im gonna buy your CD soon but im sleepy so í wont do it now and i think your my real dad and i am striving to be like you because i’m so postmodern……

i’m so postmodern i printed your comments, in hebrew. i sleep with them at night. I’m so post modern my fish is my religious leader, and he should be yours
btw, im not really post modern im just so jealous that im not like you all

I’m So Postmodern I … Okay, I’ll be serious this time… this is a great song and I wanted to vote for it in the hottest 100 this year… but my email was broken.So I resolved my teenage angt by stalking Liam Gallagher, just to tell him to lay off the Kaiser Chiefs, it’s not very nice…

I’m so post modern I put nacho cheese in my pants, threw up on my shirt then hugged kittens on the freeway.
I’m so post modern I drank the bong water, before it was used.
I’m so post modern I eat books like “The complete works of tolstoy” then wipe my mouth with the bible.
I’m so post modern, I e-mailed Sigmund Freud and said “Hello Daddy”

Well thats all i could think of, so yea, great song, very well post modern.

I agree about Bernard Fanning- alright song but it kinda took me by surprise.As for the guy’s rude messages above me…GET A LIFE!!!
Anyway…it is nice to see more people are getting to know this song and other people’s adaptations to it.
P.S- Big Day Out rocked!!!

Honestly chaps, I’m from England (Hampshire to be exact) and i don’t come across many songs like this one. I think this is marvellous. I’ve shown all my friends in England and we think its smashing. Top work pilots!

I love you all unconditionally, but…NO teasing in my e-kitchen please! Or else I’ll set Kerry the Metaphysical Drummer onto you. He knows where you all e-live. When he/she gets mad they send out a bizarre virus of kirstey alley picking her toenails and rubbing balm into her heels and she just sits on the corner of your screen and no matter what you click or press she won’t go away.

Superlicious thanks Pooglets! I’m so overjoyed and weeping and eating toast and all of the above. I vote for all of you in the Hottest 1 of life! Get ready for the dance remix of ‘I’m So PostModern’ on a forthcoming double a-side single with a remixed ‘Folkstar.’ It’s going to be seriously post-contemporary!

I’m sorry guys… I didn’t know you all felt so strongly for Sam Is fat…and I don’t hate Bernard Fanning, I just said I wasn’t expecting him to be on number 1! my head that night was somewhere in between an icecream binge and suffering withdrawals from Spongebob Squarepants.
Anyway, did Alex Kapranos really only get $1?! Surely that Scottsman is worth $3.50!
Keep up the good work Justin, you deserved much higher than #72 on hottest 100!

i’m sorry, Sam, but I did apologise.
Anyway, good news: this song has reached Sea FM!( A very popular radio station on the central coast of NSW,) and now I’ve heard it twice on that station! Someone rang up and requsted it in the all- aussie hour. That’s pretty good for a station who usually only plays Pussycat Dolls and radio-friendly MOR rock.
P.S RHCP rock!

I’m so postmodern i bought a teddy bear at a 2nd hand clothes shop, cut off its ears and reshaped it to look like a duck, stuffed it with baked beans and sent it floating in the ocean with a note in its beak reading “im so postmodern”.

i wil admit to downloading all my music off the net. i havent bought a cd in years, firstly because all the songs i wanted where by artists that can afford it, or the rest of the cd was so shit that humainly disposing of it in a shalow grave would be an insult to mother nature. but i think ill buy your cd. not sure why as i try not to think to much as that leads to sanity and rationalisation. so in short you could probale use the dosh and your a hoot, worth a punt at any rate.

I’m so post modern that I train pandas, dress them up as humans and enter them into the symmetrise swimming events in the olympics.
I’m so post modern that I bought a welcome mat, wrote a note saying I noticed that you have a poor quality mat, then replace it with the poorer one I bought.

Hey Justin! It’s Ben the infinate rainbow spacebag of cosmic yay-yay here! my 2 bros went to your gig at the mandarin club last nite! they loved it they thought u were heaps funny. Thanks for signing the Cd for me, u shud have an all ages gig sometime, me and my mate boots would come! thats 2! check out my myspace sometime http://www.myspace.com/benstavert
Keep up the good work
-Ben

BTW, to answer ‘It’s Meeeeeeee’s’ question, postmodern means to not follow the mainstream, maybe to not have anything to do with it, even predict or lead the way for the REAL cool people, and to be cool in your own right, kinda like Chris Martin.
Just for fun in spinning out the moral majority, it can even be like when in the Simpsons when Barney’s girlfriend goes, “I’ll have a single plum, served in perfume, floating in a man’s hat.” (!) As long as you feel comfortable, it’s whatever you make it. (This is what happens when you write an essay on it for visual arts at school!)

I knew it was meant to be Yoko, but what she said was just so funny in a postmodernist yoko sort-of way, you have to think it’s cool and laugh at it at the same time.Have you ever seen those postmodernists that take themselves so seriously it kinda funny? It’s fun, though! finally got my friends onto this song at school( Justin’s one, that is!)
NEW RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS OUT MAY 9!!! WOOOO!!!!!
*I beat up game show hosts with rusty curtain rods*

What about the episode where Maude Flanders dies and at one stage Homer says ‘there’s Yoko Ono…eww she ruined Plastic Ono Band.’ Mia, I’m not sure who you’re working for but I assure you that the chilli peppers album sales will be ‘red hot.’ I hear their advertising campaign this year is limited to a consortium of female ‘webspace team members’ targeting semi-obscure Australian folk singers’ guestbooks and the occasional footpath chalk message in Alice Springs. May 9 is the exact date my album was released. How coincidental!

Oh yeah, I totally got those references, (so, I dare you to say “what!”) and I’m still waiting for the makers of fox force 5 to call me back. Anyway, Justin, if you too, want me to go post some lovely subliminal messages on Backstreet Boys.com praising the deep, meaningful lyrics of Megan the Vegan, consider it done!
Would you ever do an under-18’s show on the Central Coast of NSW?
And to Hannah Paige’s suggestion, I raise my virtual left foot.

Yes well, there ‘s an eastern coast tour planned in late May, including Hobart! Hey, check out the I’m So Post Modern lyric workshop, located above the I’m So Pomo lyrics in Struth Be Told. It’s academic and fun! Mia I thought boys.com would be pictures of large plastic multicoloured balls floating in the sea…but no!

Oh please, stop right there.
I actually think there is a cult right now as we speak in Connecticut, USA devoted to the mysterious dimential intricascies of the Large plastic multicoured balls that float in the sea.
If anyone finds this cult, I’m not interested. I find delicate paper doilies served with tartar sauce and a side of grapes far more intriguing. eg; are you REALLY looking at the doilie, or is the doilie LOOKING AT YOU? Wooooo…
That quote on colored balls seriously should be put in a song, though.
P.S- I didn’t think stairway to heaven really had a satanic message when played backwards, but spicks and specks really opened my eyes… and just proves that some people have way too much time on their hands.

I had to take the acoustic megamix down for a little while due to legal shananagins. (Ben Lee took a swing….he didn’t try and punch me he just stole my favourite swingset out of vengeance) It will be up again soon, hopefully. In the meantime, check out the Postmodern lyric writing concern in StruthBeTold section! Inquisitivity.

Bwahaha! I managed to wrangle that liddle corker onto my ipod before it had to be removed
*dances like a spud horse*
Hey Just, you have a twin here in Melbourne! He works at Coles and looks zackly like you!! Imagine that..he is called Gerard and wears headbands on the weekend.

You’re no nerd. Anyone that is proud of it is a postmodernist, and we all respect you for that =D
It also depends what type of Biology you’re talking about, cos’ I like when they talk about animals.
You sound like a fun person! Comment more!

Such a funny song. Congratulations on such a great piece of art, kinda reminds me of the art exhibition i never got invited to, although it only had a Chupa-chup stuck to a swimming cap. I’ve spread the word around to all my friends.
Keep writing such funny songs.

ps: justin, big hello you are so good at making me chuckle – id practically sell my grandpa to hear you perform but i live far away from cities and am unable to for a while. thank goody goodness for jjj, huh?!

The bit at the end is adding onto the joke where he says “i’m so postmodern i recorded this song and laced it subliminally telling Shane porteus to buy a smock”
it is about the last 3/4 of the song reversed, indicating he really did put that message in there.
if you listen carefully you can hear him telling Shane Porteus to buy a smock.
Ingenious!
i hoped more peole would get that.

ah wow! mia replied to my reply! woot for me and still for this song. but bookendian? what a curious word. also, justin – folk star is pretty flipping great too. sorry about the purple star guy – i heard it on the radio and chuckled again! xo

I just went through the guidelines, and I didnt realise there were four different types. Most of the ones I just put there are Standardina, but a few could be classed as Super-Syntax, unless Im just reading too slowly. So I’ve decided to have another go, and include all 4 types somehow. If not I’ll just have fun instead!

Ahem.

I’m so postmodern that I started my computer, I’ll finish it next week…

I’m so postmodern that I realised that multiball-entities are too hard to think of so I made this one a super-syntax…

I’m so post-modern that I went to town, licked the carpet….and rolled over.
I’m so post-modern that I flatten my eyes, drink a bottle of tomato sauce, then spew up in your hair.
I’m so post-modern that I bought a kitchen table, glued to my neigbours cat, and name it Madonna
I’m so post-modern that I dressed up in garbage bags and caught the ferry…to toyworld.
Lol we actually are doing that last one. Great song dude.

Stoned randomness????!!!!
if justin was stoned he’d be laughing at his own jokes the whole way through it and then walk off midway cos’ he had “the munchies.”
so… stoned?
more like…witty.
he makes it convincing.
that’s clever.
read his other blogs if you think he is just a stoned rambler…

he means stoned randomness as in it was random (which it obviously is, as it’s postmodern) and it was as solid as a stone. So he basically said it was solid (meaning good, it works, cripes I dont know the real definition) and it was random. Taking this further he basically called it good randomness. Good randomness can be interpreted as funny randomness and so that was a complement.

Sheesh, you should learn to take the benifit of the doubt.

On a serious note I’m actually postmodern and was very offended by this song… I would have gone to the nightclub at 2:37 in the afternoon and I dont like it when people stereotype postmodernists as the guys that are there at 3:00!

Aloha! I haven’t dropped an e-five cents in a while. Thanks so much for your glorious compliments and Post Modern attempts. Please note I won’t be giving them feedback unless they’re in the Lyrics Masterclass bit of the website. Re: The earlier comment by ‘Evil R’ that the song is stoned randomness. I am with Mia Wallace on that. Why are people’s estimations of the power of the human mind so low, that we think it has to be effected with a drug to reach creative heights? From my experience’s of pot and the people that smoke it, the most ‘random’ comments usually revolve around ‘hey man where’s the remote’, ‘hey where’s the last three years?’ and ‘oh shitI think I’ve made my fragile mind more susceptible to developing mental illnesses such as schitzophrenia.’

god, justin!!!!! why did u have to have the comments place change every wingding thing people say??????????????????????????
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

I’m so post modern i listened to the film clip whilst trying to download the whole album and i only found this one song so i bought 2 cd’s because i felt guilty about using the internet to get free music…….

Hey there…
I saw you perform two tuesdays ago (couldn’t work out a way to write that, that would make sense) at melbourne uni before tripod. I’m only in high school so i had to pretend to be a uni kid so i could see tripod : ) and heard you do “I’m So Post Modern” before them…hilarious…definately made a great funny day for me greater and funnier (specially since i was sposed to be doing a massive french test that day)…and i’m attempting to buy your cd…it’s a must have. Ok i think this comments too long so i shall go…

Hi Lysh – If you mean the album ‘In Bed With My Doona’ then it can be ordered from any record store in Australia. The maxi-single is only available by mail order. I hope this answers your question. I just watched Australian Idol and now feel ill.

Hey Justin, thanks for that. Once i get paid at work this week, i’m going to go and buy it. Hazaah! I’m kinda poor…I just spent all my cd income for this week on Beck’s new Cd-The Information. But it was definately worth it : ) . But soon…. . You were watching Australian idol? oh i’m ashamed. Tsk tsk tsk. NO wonder you feel ill. All you need is a good dose of real tv. (Black books, Lano and Woodley, Shaun Micalleff etc). That’s my prescription. Now make sure you watch something quality you hear? (P.s , i don’t know if you read above…but thanks for getting me out of my french test : ) What a fun day that was, saw you and tripod in the one day. ) Catch.
Now go and watch real TV

omgh!

I’m so postmodern I listen to philosophers on my underwater radio while driving to launceston.
makes the trip go that 5 minutes 11 seconds faster!
HOORAY!!!
I saw you mr. bedroom philosopher playing at Aroma Records in North Hobart some months ago. and oh how it was brilliant.

My name is Al Gore.
thats where my recycling bin went to. Katie is my friend. And so is this computer. and the bones on her diary. I will eat all your souls. One by one, slowly at first, then faster and faster til the tin cans come for revenge.

Piggle, I know who you are. I watch you day and night. (especially night = D) I love you.

Wow! I wish i had been introduced to your music and ways sooner, this was the first song of yours i ever heard and its won my heart over! And that was as i went to sleep last night listening to a some songs a mate gave me … I’m going to have to dash out now and buy the Cd …

LOVE the track…. LOVE it….. if only mor folks were inclined to bring joy and enlightenment to the world like you!!!! Loved it so much i used a couple of lines in an essay for uni on “ORIGINALITY AND APPROPRIATION IN POSTMODERNISM”!!!!

im so post modern that i scream the alphabet in in ancient greek to destiny’s child, whilst hibernating.

im so postmodern i use shredded pyjamas for my cereal and excrete multicoloured glad wrap, through my fingernails.
im so postmodern that i jump climb up lightbulbs with the help of an in cartridge, with my shoes off.

justin.
your amazing.
and i was wondering if you had ukulele/harmonica/guitar tabs for this ingenius song?
its so overly obscure and amazing that im going to sing it and busk at my school so i can feed myself for a day.

however after second thoughts it could be a little hard to sing this song whilst playing in the harmonica…
anyway whatever you have
cheers

before i found out about you, whenever i heard “Post Modern” i used to think of that episode of the simpsons where Moe makes his bar “hip” and pomo, he has a video of an eyeball looking around the room… just looking…. just one…

Hey Momo, that’s pretty sweet…I like the reference to 2005. Ah, I’d spiritually disconnected myself from this song, for various reasons, I really couldn’t remember the order of the lyrics any more (it’s very hard memorising list songs) and have you tried playing it a hundred times? Then, the other night I listened to In Bed With My Doona for the first time in four years or so and this song really jumped out and I thought ‘oh yeah, no wonder people still like it’ and I plan to do Edinburgh Fringe this year and I think I’ll relearn most of the lyrics and fire it back up and do a world tour and await the telemovie.

Haha, I just Last.fm ‘ed you and apparently you are super similar (musically) to Yves Klein Blue. Explain please?
Coming to your show tomorrow night, so I’m hoping I’ll see you there.
Um…
I’m so postmodern that I make anything a verb by putting ‘ed on the end of it.
I’m so postmodern that I actually take philosophy…
